Bright Nepal's founder, Pabitra Lama, is a Nepali woman who grew up impoverished and uneducated and made a vow to help village girls escape the descending spiral of poverty. Initially, she took rescued girls into her personal home and then in 2011 Bright Nepal secured it's own home and was officially formed as a girl's hostel in Katmandu. During the summer of 2016, due to the dramatic rise in the cost of living and the difficulty in raising the necessary funds, Pabitra had to let Bright Nepal's live- in assistant go and subsequently moved her family into the hostel in order to keep the program going. Due to the additional stress and her declining health, she then decided it was best to move the girls into their school hostel (Lord Buddha Secondary School) at the beginning of their new school year in April of 2017. Bright Nepal continues to financially support the girls in their hostel and school. Pabitra personally continues to oversee and manage the girls needs, visiting them weekly and organizing outings for them monthly. Bright Nepal has depended primarily on the fundraising efforts of Anahata Iradah (Traveling Light), Angela Bennett (Roots Productions) and Tara Dhatu who also acts as a non-profit umbrella. They are currently looking for partner godparents for the girls. Or if you would like to simply make a tax deductible donation, you can do so via the button below. As always your contribution to this project makes a difference to these girls lives and is deeply appreciated. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!
